1. Guys,

    At the moment I'm doing a road trip with two friends through the United States. After a week in Los Angeles I already camped 2 days in Joshua Tree national park!!! Right now I just visited the Grand Canyon and staying in Vegas for another 4 nights! BUT, I want to visit the original place of U2's Joshua Tree SO badly. I know that the tree felt down a couple of years ago and some fans placed a sign on the actual spot. I also know that it is somewhere near Death Vally. I also found this report here:

    http://www.panamintcity.com/exclusives/u2tree.html

    The only thing I want to know...what is the exact location of the tree?? Does anyone know the coordinates and/or specific spot where I can find it?? I'm only once over here so I'm dying to get to the right spot! Therefore I really really want all information you guys know on this location. Please help me find it, I will share the picture without any doubt here on u2start!

    Thank you all.

    Greetings from Las Vegas,

    OMG I just found the exact coordinates of the tree at this site

    http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.phpubb=showflat&Number=772968&site_id=1#import

    N36 19.851 W117 44.715

    Looks like I'm really going to the exact place where this historic moment took place! Cant wait....


    p.s. if anyone has any corrections and/or suggestions it's more than welcome!
  3. the tree is dead is it not?

    Edit : just re-read and saw that you mentioned the trees downfall
  4. 36° 20′ 2,8″ N, 117° 44′ 47,2″ W is what wikipedia lists for the tree,
    36° 25′ 12,18″ N, 116° 48′ 49,62″ W for the location of the cover shoot.
  5. Did you find it?
